history
The first hut was built in 1902 and “restored” in 1910, which suggests that it was demolished by the forces of nature. In 1911, at the foot of the Wildstein, a wooden building was built by the SAC Bern section with 20–30 beds. In 1936 the decision was made to close the hut and after the new hut opened in 1937 to demolish the hut after it was discovered in 1932 that the rock head above the hut was badly weathered and the hut was more and more endangered by falling rocks.
In 1952 the stone house from 1937 was destroyed by an avalanche and in 1953 the new building, which nestled against the rock, was opened.
